Conductive filament exists, but it takes more than that to 3D print something like a circuit board. The main issue is that traces made from conductive filament are basically resistors; they don’t act ...

Resin 3D printers have a significant advantage over filament printers in that they are able to print smaller parts with more fine detail. The main downside is that the resin parts aren’t typically as ...

A range of production processes frequently employ acid mixtures comprised of two or three acids; for example, nitric acids, sulfuric acids and hydrochloric acids. In order to use these acids safely ...

In the latest of James Mods series - James shows you how to electroplate at home - it's not really all that difficult, if you ...

Since the end of the Second World War the use of plastics has increased remarkably due to a systematic exploitation of their principal advantages, i.e. lightness, flexibility and toughness, ease of ...

Copper electrodeposition is a vital process in the fabrication of microelectronic interconnects, battery components and decorative coatings. By utilising carefully formulated electrolytes and ...
